Nintendo E3 Reaction

General
Thoughts going in:
Nintendo needs to promise games for the switch this year if they are going to succeed in the console market. The Wii U's failure of only having 6 legitimate games made Nintendo take on a lot of water. It is sink or swim time for them. They don't need 42 games, but they definitively need more than 10.
Wins:
2 new pokemon games. Wow, awesome. These next 2 years are going to be fun. Super excited.
Metroid is getting love with 2 new games.
Mario Odyssey looks insane.
Xenoblade 2 looks interesting
Fire Emblem Warriors is a good way of combining 2 games (early FE game and Hyrule Warriors)
I remember playing Superstar Saga as a kid and would love to play it again.
A Sonic game that doesn't look like complete crap.
Fails:
... rabbids? really, why is that a game. No one asked for that. In fact, people are asking them to stop making it.
Paper Yoshi looks boring and uninteresting. I like the mechanic of swapping of platforms but Yoshi games are boring IMO
Kirby Wii U again except it has some Kirby 64 mechanics. I love Kirby but I'm probably not getting that one.
Skyrim motion controls. Why? This was a big reason why fans got pissed at Skyward Sword.
Fantasy games I wanted that didn't happen:
Animal Crossing that lets you expand your town to give more room.
F-Zero... RIP Captain Falcon, they did you dirty.
Star Fox Assault HD, or really any game that isn't a knockoff of Star Fox 64.
A classic Paper Mario, where the battle mechanics are fun and the story is actually interesting unlike the past 2.
Mario Sunshine 2 (Odyssey makes up for that)
Final thoughts:
I thought Xbox won but Nintendo was right on their heels. I really like a lot of the games they are coming out with. Zelda is probably going to be Goty, and with 2 new pokemon games I think that brings fans a couple years of entertainment. I was really impressed with Nintendo's E3 and I think that the Switch will succeed if these games release on time and 2018 shows us as much variety.
Grade: A-
E3 Rankings: Microsoft > Nintendo > Sony > EA > Bethseda.

I'm personally very excited for the pokemon games. Were getting ones in 2016, 2017, and 2018. That is insane. Sun and Moon was awesome, and I am looking forward to part 2. If it is as good as Black/White series were we should be in good shape.
